The only other thing I can think of is start+select+A (I think) turns the display off. Theoretically this could help mGB perform better, but honestly I'd be a bit surprised if it did much (chime in if I'm wrong). Pressing B will reset all your presets.

I am kind of working on a little instruction manual, but we'll see if that ever gets finished.

Thanks for the kind words!

Well now with the whole bash on windows thing, the unix driver will work on windows. That's my preferred method of flashing it.

Yep, that's correct. Again, the first two channels (PU1 and PU2) can only make square waves. So to have all the sounds the same, channel 3 (WAV) must be set to a square wave.

You have to set up the sounds to all be the same. So the first two are just square waves, the 3rd is the wave channel which also needs to be set to a square wave (it's a triangle by default). highlight the wavefrom, the hold a and go left/right to change the waveform.

That seems crazy! Go to paypal.com/shipnow, select first class international. Should only be like $15 max.

Crap, I wasn't going to say anything, but now the code will know he knows!

That seems to be a funky spot to install the backlight power. It's right on the edge connector. I'd re-wire it following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0PlML-q4Lo

I guess I'll add mine to the list:

Hey Sam, message me. I'd love to help get this off the ground!

I swear, uncommon time signatures are to rock as "my DMG can't handle my LSDJ" is to chipmusic.

Hey nitro, does the SGB CPU still do the logo check?

1) No, not really. If it's not real hardware, you're emulating it.
2) Not really. Because of 1 the carts would have to be dumped to a rom before use. That's basically what the retron5 does.
3) Sure, why not.

I mean, people use a gameboy because it's a gameboy. Sounds like you just need to grap LGPT and any of the many handhelds that run it.

trash80, you're my hero. Serious hacking skills, but more importantly you actually deliver. And when you deliver, it's free and open source. Thanks a lot for your work.

This is possibly the highest quality production that has ever come out of the chip scene. cTrix, you rule. And Abrasive is basically my hero. that video was so easy to follow. Granted, he was short on some hairy details. I especially loved his explanation of the reverse engineering process.

Hey Yogi, thanks for your post. I've actually been working on this quietly for a bit now, more as a personal hobby project than anything. For my initial version, here's what I'm shooting for:
- Each of the 4 outputs are channel selectable. Regardless of input channel.
- Volume setting or offset per channel. So you could set the output volume of CH1 to 127 (max), or you could increase it by a factor. Maybe a percentage of the original volume, or by a constant. That way dynamics may still work.
- Pitch Offset. This will probably be a percentage. Almost like a pitch wheel but more fixed.
- As cheap as possible. I'm hoping for $50 including a semi-decent case.
- Actually purchasable. Seems like most devices like this are harder to buy, like the two you posted. No PM'ing people on forums.

Everything is/will be released as free and open source under GPLv2. If you or other want to add your own features, that will totally be supported! And contributions back to the "official" firmware would be nice!

I've actually lost a bit of steam on this, so your post has kind of reignited my spark a bit. Let me know if you have any questions.
